HEAT POSTCAST: BAM SCORES 29, Heat GO ICE COLD late in 106-104 Home Loss to Minnesota T'wolves

Bam Adebayo missed what would have been a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Heat went scoreless on 4 straight late possessions in a gut-wrenching 106-104 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The loss was the 3rd in 4 games when the Heat had the lead in the 4th quarter against 3 of the NBA’s best teams- the Knicks, Cavs and Wolves. Miami is now 4 games under .509 for the 3rd time this season. The Heat went on a 20-7 run to close the first half, then later ripped off a 19-4 run in just over 3:00 of the 3rd quarter, at one scoring 8 points in just :49 of action. But they weren’t able to do it late when they needed it to close the game. Bam led Miami with 29 points and 13 rebounds, as he continues playing his best hoops of the season. Tyler Herro- back from a brief illness that kept him out Wednesday at Cleveland- added 22 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds. Duncan Robinson scored 15 in his 6th straight game scoring in double-figures- all off the bench. Both Herro and Robinson missed wide-open 3’s in the final 2:30. Minnesota shot 46% from 3, and had 8 players scored in double-figures on night when the Heat held their superstar Anthony Edwards to just 13 points, more than 14 points lower than his average. The Heat were again playing without Kel’el Ware, (sprained knee) Andrew Wiggins (sprained ankle) and Nikola Jovic. (broken hand) The Chicago Bulls come to town tomorrow night, with tip set for 8pm.
